Yes, I have had excellent experience with Exprimo on several older and newer laptops and netbooks.

I thought I read that there was one version specifically optimized for older computers and thought if Exprimo had trouble with drivers or performance a different Puppy may meet the need._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

Anyone understand what he is saying who can offer a paint-by-numbers set of instructions?

Or even better a PET or SFS?

Yes, the RTL-based usb stick will work in Linux using gnuradio and gqrx.

Typically to get gnu radio you download the gnu radio build script and run it, which grabs source
code from various locations and compiles it for you. Other apps, like gqrx, are build on top of gnuradio

Hi edoc,
do you mean perhaps a Wary-based dpup? That would certainly get my vote - a LTS Puppy base for +PIII-era laptops and desktops, with -in cases where the PETS and SFS' are not available - OOTB integration for "recent" applications in the extensive deb repository. glibC and gtk2+ library support would be the biggest bugbears there, I imagine? I think that pemasu has been super-busy not only with BK on Puppy5 issues, but also with his new Wheezy-dpup puplet http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=648583#648583. I agree with his approach for the latter - let the user do all the personalisation - but I'll be waiting to see any kinks ironed out before I migrate from my beloved 5x15 which I use for work on a daily basis
It's a tough call - when does a developer choose to shift the kernel base upwards and risk the time shoe-horning the lagging libraries into it so the bleeding-edge applications are happy with it (see also this comment from popov http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=696299#696299)? And not loose the loyalty base of users with their recycled hardware (me) and their dreams of bleeding-edge applications?
(Looks like I'll have to finally learn how to compile from source, myself :0)_________________Toowoomba Linux Community
